So one thing I used to do, post ride, is get a sense on how I did on a few segments. I am not that competitive, but a little. New Strava means that activity is less satisfying. But I don’t miss it enough to pay $60/year for it.

I've woken up with a sore throat, actually started before I went to bed last night. I'm going to chalk it up to allergies for now. Yeah, it's probably allergies.
@datlas We have free testing for everyone, symptoms or not, in my city but what's the point? My neighbors tested negative but could be positive next week. It just seems like a waste of resources to test everyone regardless of symptoms or exposure.

I can't even sniff the podium, but then again, I'm only at ~144 miles (couldn't ride yesterday - it was a washout), so that's probably as it should be when among a group of serious cyclists.

Fun ride this morning. The first 50 was super nice with mostly overcast and very shaded roads. The last 20 were a bit tough, it got hot and exposed and I don't think I ate enough, but by that time I was starting to feel a bit nauseous so eating what I had was a no-go.
I also found a wall disguised as a road.
A few pictures:

I barely remember what it feels like to ride a bike. When I become pinless, on Friday(I hope), I'm gonna ask if it's ok. I'll by then have enough grip in the three recently released fingers, and I am hoping that without the pin the vibration won't cause so much pain.

Congrats on the #s whifi.
I shouldn't have covered my coworkers on call today. But he has covered a few of mine , a little good will.
Really looking forward to tomorrow. my legs are only a little sore from yesterday, which is weird. I thought I would be hella sore from spinning 1st gear the last 13 miles. Im hoping it means I'm starting to find some kind of fitness.. I gotta lose this weight and get back in shape. (Sigh) every year same song. I have little discipline.

One of three races are on today, at least. They're racing in Charlotte tonight.

I guess I could bring it back out to the garage, but then the neighbors might see it

And I got a rack to hang the cast iron collection from, but I need to do some mud, sanding, texture and paint on the soffit before installation.
